feijoa & rye

In collaboration with our friends at Kindeli, we brewed a deeply crunchy rustic Rye Saison on top of a mid-ferment Organic Feijoa Cider. Fermented using a mixed culture including our house wild yeast that we grew from Manuka branches and aged in large format oak over the Spring and summer months. This beer is incredibly unique and quenching bringin gthe best fruity acidity of Feijoa balance matches with the body and creaminess of a classic Brood Fermentation Saison.
Unfined, unfiltered, 20 IBU, 7.4 ABV.

The XPA style is designed to showcase hops while Brut styles produce a dry beer with little or no malt character. With Bone Dry Brut XPA we combine both these styles to produce a beer which is lighter in colour than a pale ale and very dry, which allows the hops to shine through. This brew uses Nectaron hops which bring intense tropical fruit and citrus aroma. Bone Dry is an easy drinker, dry and crisp, with a noticeable hop experience, and low in carbohydrates compared to other beer styles. **Highly Commended - New World Beer & Cider Awards 2019 and 2024**

Absolutely Smashing Cider 4.5%

You asked us for a cider, we made a cider, and quite frankly, we've smashed this one out of the park! Our cider is brewed with the juice of the apple gods, nice and dry with a touch of sweet. You should give it a go, we think you'll agree that this cider is absolutely smashing!

This 2023 release from Ardnamurchan combines peated and unpeated spirit matured in ex-bourbon and ex-rum casks. A lovely balance of peat and sweet tropical flavours - mango, spice and subtle vanilla thanks to the American oak

From the distillery...

Ardnamurchan Rum Cask ramps up our earthy, oily house profile with delicate grassy, funky notes. The underlying tropical richness is delightful. We think the distillery character matches beautifully with these Caribbean casks, the first time we've ever released a vatting matured in this cask type..

Taking inspiration from the Campbeltown Market Cross and the characters emblazoned on it, this release is named for the iconic maritime myth, the Mermaid. Made from unpeated barley and finished in Palo Cortado ex-sherry casks, this is a drier, floral and decidedly coastal expression. A swirling nose of dry seaweed, sea salt gives way to rich apple tart with caramel. The finish is long and with a savoury , coastal undertone.

Made using mainland peat from St. Fergus, the sweet phenolic content of the whisky amounts to 35 PPM. A lengthy fermentation period of 160 hours results in a fruit-forward spirit that lends itself perfectly to ageing in the finest Sherry oak.

Nose: Cedarwood, cigar box, butterscotch and mocha, with orange peel, honey and plum jam.

Taste: Dark chocolate, smoked honey and mocha, with figs, treacle, burnt sugar and puffs of peat smoke.

Brother and sister Pierre and Veronique took over the domain from their parents in 1993 and have carefully maximised the huge potential of the estate. Their wines are superb and constantly gain more and more recognition from discerning wine lovers and critics. 

The vineyard has now more than doubled in size without diminishing the quality which is quite a rare achievement.

The Petit Closi Muscat sec is a white wine made from 50% Muscat petit grain and 50% Muscat of Alexandria. 

The result is an aromatic and dry muscat that is a beautiful golden yellow colour in the glass and offers powerful but elegant flavours of apricot and melon with a honeyed finish.

Commercial description...

"Every batch we create of our 10-year-old Cask Strength represents the direction in which we are taking The GlenAllachie" - Master Distiller, Billy Walker. 

Demonstrating the impact of exceptional cask management, the tenth edition of our highly-sought after release embodies this philosophy and stands proudly alongside its award-winning predeccesors.

Each striving to better the last, Batch 10 is a true illustration of the artistry and expertise that creates every drop of our liquid gold. To deliver our classically Sherried profile, Billy hand-selected Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso casks to be married with spirit maturing in red wine barriques and medium toast/medium char American virgin oak barrels. The result is a well-balanced, yet complex malt with distinctive notes of dark fruits and layers of warming sweet spice.

Presented in its purest form at natural cask strength of 58.6%, without added colouring or chill-filtration.

Tasting notes

Colour

Intensely rich Mahogany.

Nose

Waves of honeycomb, orange zest and treacle, with fig syrup, mocha and poached orchard fruits, followed by cinnamon and butterscotch.

Palate

Lashings of cocoa, heather honey and baking spices, followed by dried red berries and Black Forest gâteau, with maraschino cherries and anise on the finish.

"Deep red with purple tints.  Rich and concentrated dark fruits, with charry oak and mocha notes.  The palate shows dense plum and mulberry with dark chocolate and savoury oak tannins.  The wine is intense, balanced and shows great length on the palate." - Winemaker's notes.

Indulge in the velvety smoothness of a classic Schwarzbier, where finely roasted malts weave rich flavours of dark chocolate and aromatic hints of coffee and cocoa. Embrace the decadence of each sip as you embark on a journey through the depths of flavour and aroma.

Legal academic, property dealer and vigneron, Rene Rostaing crafts some of the finest Cote Roties on the market today. He has owned 2 hectares in the Côte Blonde and La Landone since the 1970s but fortune has blessed him through his inheritance of four hectares of superbly sited vineyards from his father in law Albert Dervieux and another 1.4 hectares of particularly old vines from his uncle Marius Gentaz. He now has 7.4 hectares which in Cote Rotie terms is a significant holding. Rostaing is firmly in the modernist camp of Cote Rôtie producers, destemming the majority of his fruit and being one of the first producers to ferment using vinomatics (horizontal automatic vinifiers). However he dislikes the overt taste of new oak and uses a maximum of 15% in the maturation process. All the wines are bottled unfiltered.
